TIDES ENERGY
Tides occur due to the movement of water in the sea,
raised and lowered and the potential energy of this tidal can be
exploited.
It is also possible to harness the kinetic energy of the moving

WAVE ENERGY
Waves are formed by winds blowing over the water
determined by the speed and duration of the wind, the length of sea
it blows over, the water depth, sea bed conditions and also
interactions with the tides.
The extractable form of wave energy is the potential energy of the
